When to use this template

This visualization excels at mapping out sequential processes, decision points, and parallel activities within a system or workflow. It helps analysts quickly grasp the overall flow, identify bottlenecks, understand dependencies, and trace potential paths through a series of steps. It's ideal for documenting and communicating operational procedures or customer journeys.

  • Datasets representing directed, sequential steps or events.
  • Nodes with distinct types (e.g., tasks, events, decisions).
  • Edges indicating transitions or dependencies between nodes.
  • Node attributes defining labels, conditions, or durations.
  • Moderate number of nodes and edges (tens to hundreds).
  • Data describing a single, coherent process flow.
